Our Mission

Polyphony is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to bridge the divide between Arab and Jewish communities in Israel by creating a common ground where young people come together around classical music.By educating both performer and audience in the art of listening and communicating, we seek to further the development of a just and dynamic civil society in Israel. Our programs aim to equally educate and expose Arab and Jewish youth to both classical music and the music of ‘the other,’ to create equal opportunities for musical training, and to facilitate joint professional music-making. In so doing, we are transforming students, families, institutions and communities and creating opportunities for engagement, dialogue, partnerships, and lasting integration.At Polyphony, we use the language of music to create the harmony of possibility.
